Double Gameweek 32 comes to a head on Wednesday evening with three Premier League matches that all kick off at 19:45 BST.

Crystal Palace are the visitors to Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium, while Manchester City and Chelsea host Cardiff City and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively.

The headline team news at the Etihad sees Pep Guardiola make seven changes, with Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and David Silva among the players to drop to the bench.

Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gündogan are also among the substitutes, while Nicolas Otamendi drops out of the match-day squad.

Guardiola had previously ruled Sergio Aguero out of tonight’s match, so it is no shock to see Gabriel Jesus leading the line for City.

Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez will flank the Brazilian, while there is a first Premier League start of the season for Phil Foden.

Fernandinho, John Stones and Danilo are also recalled.

Neil Warnock has made only one change, with Harry Arter being replaced in the starting XI by Joe Ralls.

Maurizio Sarri has matched Guardiola in making seven alterations.

Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea starting XI following his benching at Cardiff on Sunday, while there is a full Premier League debut for Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Gonzalo Higuain makes way for Olivier Giroud, while Emerson Palmieri replaces the injured Marcos Alonso.

N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andreas Christensen are recalled as Willian, Pedro, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Antonio Rudiger drop out.

Chris Hughton has made four changes, the most eye-catching of which sees the fit-again Florin Andone replace Glenn Murray up front.

Solly March, Bruno and Gaetan Bong all start at the expense of Anthony Knockaert, Martin Montoya and Bernardo.

Son Heung-min returns to the Spurs starting XI, replacing Lucas Moura in the Lilywhites’ attack.

Ben Davies is preferred to Davinson Sanchez in Mauricio Pochettino’s only other change.

Roy Hodgson has brought Cheikhou Kouyate, James McArthur and Martin Kelly into his starting XI and benched Scott Dann, Max Meyer and Andros Townsend.

That means Jeffrey Schlupp will move even further upfield on the left of a front three, with Wilfried Zaha switching to the right flank.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Hazard.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong, Bissouma, Stephens, Propper, March, Andone, Jahanbakhsh.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Zinchenko, Stones, Laporte, Danilo, Fernandinho, Foden, De Bruyne, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Camarasa, Murphy, Hoilett, Niasse.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose, Alli, Son, Kane.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Kelly, Van Aanholt, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur, Zaha, Batshuayi, Schlupp.

    7 years, 9 days ago

    Fabianski
    Robertson / TAA / Pereira / Digne
    Salah / Hazard / Maddison
    Vardy / Wilson / Barnes

    Ederson / A. Smith / Pogba / Camarasa

    Few options with 1 FT before WC:

    1) Play Digne or Smith?

    A) Upgrade Wilson to Lacazette
    B) Pogba > [anyone] and bench someone (who?)
    C) Salah > Mané
    D) Ederson > Kepa

  2. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Best Watford option for WC in 34?

    A Doucouré
    B Deulofeu

    1. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I'm seriously considering doucure

    2. sfsfsfe
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      B

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Game time seems favouring A - haven’t checked details yet though

    4. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      A. But I think B will do well.

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Deuofeu, all the lemmings will get Doucoure.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Probably the worst names to spell in the Prem. right there!

  3. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Maddison or Siggy for 1 week?

    1. Spartac Mac
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Maddison.

      It's Huddersfield.

  4. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone else whose biggest gripe is going for the wrong £5.9m defender? Especially considering Rudiger was considered the 'safer' option in terms of minutes in exchange for reduced goal threat.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      International minutes didn't help Rudiger's case.

  5. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Best forward for a SGW one week punt under 6.2m?

  6. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Have 12.4m ITB so can afford any mid for next week. Who to buy?

    Already have Salah, Hazard, Brooks and can't get Mane as maxed out on LIV

  7. Kuzser
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    What transfer to make here guys (WC 34):
    1) anderson-> hazard
    2) mcneil-> maddison (already have barnes)
    3) higuain->Vardy

    Fab
    Robbo luiz Pereira Lejeune
    Salah mane Barnes Anderson
    Higuain Wilson

    Jimenez awb McNeil

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      1 easily for me

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      1 for sure

  8. Rash
    • 8 Years

    Welcome back triple west ham!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

  9. Spartac Mac
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone got a decent Google Sheet FPL calendar where you can plan transfers / see fixtures etc?

    Ones on Reddit don't seem to be the most user friendly...

  10. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Which midfielder up to 8.8 for a one week punt before I wildcard next week?

    Already got Brooks.

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I'm thinking either Maddison or Tielemans?

      1. Spartac Mac
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Good shouts for one week punts and even after with some favourable fixtures for Leicester.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Willian

  11. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Is 86 after bonus bad?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Below the average

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      3 points below 10k average. It’s alright

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Below average

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      13 above the average.

    5. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Only if you played a chip, even then it’s not bad

  12. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    GK Allison
    DEF Perriera, Luiz, Kola
    MID Salah, Siggy, Mane(c), Fraser
    FWD Wilson, Lacazette, Vardy

    Subs Maguire, Rice, Pogba

    Sub order ok? Wonder if Morgan will keep his place so I've placed Maguire first sub.

    Is Vardy a potential captain?

  13. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    I already miss yesterday. Young, Pogba, Rashford and no Jimenez was just a great experience 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Enough that experience this season ...

  14. Doctor Evil
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Who and when for triple Captain?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Liverpool vs Huddersfield.

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Mane 36 or Kane 38

    3. Doctor Evil
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      So no Hazard vs West Ham next week? He looked good tonight

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Probably something that is not good on paper 🙂

  15. socho
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    3 transfers for -8 paid off nicely

    Salh CalvertLewin TAA to Milivojevic, Aguero and Laporte 🙂

  17. Bruno Bruno!!

    • 9 Years

    1. Rainer

      Nope, just be prepared to be let down

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      Never bench, never captain

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Captained this week and paid off but yeah your probably right

  21. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    I probably scored around 15-18 points more by playing my free hit. I call that a fail.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Hear Hear!

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Can’t look at this gw in isolation. It’s allowed you to field a stronger team in gw33

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        That quite true but I'd still have a free hit left.

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        And playing XI for previous gw that gave me 23 pts 🙁

    3. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Welcome back !

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Dude that bench! That’s frustrating!

  22. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    95 this week not too bad?

    Hello WK33 team, any changes for a hit?

    Leno
    Trent, Pereira, Luiz, Rice
    Mane C, Salah, Maddison, Brooks
    Vardy, Wilson

    Boruc, Aguero, Doherty, Pogba

  23. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Wow the double gameweek delivered in the end. 110pts. Boom!

  24. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone considering Mkhi?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Emery

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Want an Ars mid so he's on the radar. Would prefer Ozil but he mightn't feel like traveling up to Liverpool.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Think Mkhi is explosive

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Minefield as you know, but if you smack the rabbit, could be a great diff.

  25. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    How’s this for a 34 WC?
    Erikson and Son instead of Kane.

    Leno,Ryan
    Laporte,TAA,Kolasinac,Duffy,Valery
    Mane,Son,Erikson,Jota,Sterling
    Aguero,Jimenez,Deeney

  26. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    10 GWs since Salahs latest double digit haul coming up ;(

  27. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Why is Laca always flagged in section ''STATUS'' ---- Most transferred player IN ?

  28. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Has Lossl been replaced by Hamer? Or it was only 1 game to give him an opportunity

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Has he Lossl his place?

  29. vityovics
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Mads or Fraser for 1 GW?
    (Have Wilson)

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Fraser.

      1. vityovics
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Cheers

  30. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    So was free hit 32 a hit or a miss.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Depends on next week really.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Depends on whether a free hit could've been better used on a future gameweek.

    2. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      hit for me. 52 points more than my usual team.

    3. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Hard to tell. I'm bang on the top 10K average, which isn't what I hoped for, but can't consider this week in isolation from next week either, as that's part of the FH strategy.

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Total fail. 77 points. Went Kane(c)...

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      The top scoring player within the top 10k this GW took a -40 and still scored 124 points net of that!

    6. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Really hard to tell. Like my team for 33 and then wc. Think it worked ok but not great

    7. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Critical Hit for me
